Because books.

Oh, I think the leviathan guy definitely started the fire. He made it clear Sam and Dean were a threat he was told to take care of.

The books is a killer. And all their notes, Sam's laptop, everything.

I like to think Dean had Cas's trench coat in the trunk of the Impala, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

God, yeah, the hunters' resources that are gone - that's a staggering loss. And I'm assuming Bobby is not part of it because I just am.

It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't have insurance, figuring that anything that might hurt the house would be either too weird to explain to an insurance company even with a cover story, or would take him out at the same time, or both. I'm sure he could abandon the property and disappear if he wanted to, but I don't think he'd want to. But I don't see him rebuilding, either, not the same house, anyway. Putting in a bunker, a panic room for living in, yeah, I can see that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, me too. t / sap

Dean was the last one at the house, wasn't he? Didn't he go there to look for Sam?

Also that "turning on the GPS" is shit. That just means the phone is placing its own position. Unless Dean has an app that reads Sam's phone, or something.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It's at the cleaners. You know, to get the lake water out, so he could keep it stored. For the memories. Or, you know, eventualities.

That's right, Dean was the last one at the house!

I'd love to know what car Sam actually drove to wherever that was. Most of the cars on Bobby's lot aren't running, and for him to be able to grab a set of keys on impulse and just set out seems suspiciously convenient.

But I'll go with it, because that whole scene was priceless.

Me three.

Good point. Phew, I can let that thought go.

I assumed Sam drove the van that was idling with the driver's door open and the headlights on. Dean glanced at it as he passed it on his way inside.

Oh! I saw that on rewatch and didn't put it together. Good call.

Reason to think that the coat may be in the impala? Interview with the director:

Interviewer: ...That was a beautiful scene.

Guy Bee: Yeah, I mean, it was scripted that the coat washes up but, um, but that was it and so I think just over the course of talking with Sera and, you know, meetings or whatever I said you know, "Jensen will fish it out, or Dean will fish it out, should he leave it? Should he take it?" and so we never really were clear on it so the morning we got there to shoot that I said to Jensen, "I don't think we have any you know, like, strict rules on what we need to do, what we're going to do with this coat, but it seems to me you know when they fold up a flag at a soldier's funeral they kind of, there's a specific way they fold it." And then he goes "I'd take it with me, I'd put it in the trunk of the car, and, you know. I'll take it. Because it's silly for me, you know, I wouldn't leave it." And so we agreed on that and it sort of-- folding it up like a military flag didn't really work because that thing was, you know, sixty lbs soaking wet. So, just kind of the way he rolled it seemed to work great and uh, takes it with him. So yeah, that was something that was a little nebulous in the script but that's what we all kind of, we wanted and yeah, it worked well. That was a good tearjerker moment.

Interviewer: I think it worked more effectively that it was a sloppy fold, so that kind of conveyed the emotion of it better. Instead of being such a precise fold.

Guy Bee: Yeah, exactly. And that's it, that was the idea. I just gave that idea to Jensen like, you know, respectfully there's a certain specific fold-up and they basically make a triangle out of it when, you know, at a soldier's funeral the flag that's draped over the coffin is folded a certain way and given to the widow, etc., and you know we should do something along that line. And so that's sort of what, how Jensen interpreted it, that felt right at the time and so that's what you get on the show.

::sigh::

Yeah, not closing the sap tag this time.

That is entirely awesome. I love how well Jensen knows his character. He knew Dean would have taken it.
